I save my bands for a gal in Nebraska who makes beautiful pieces of art with them; http://www.joyfulscigarart.com/.  Just ask Ricky @Rhamlin - he found her on eBay or facebook and bought one.

Before I send them off, let's see who can guess how many bands are in this repurposed Large tortilla bag.  It's about 10x10 to give you some idea of scale.

No rules, no requirements, just be the closest guess and you'll have a 5'er of the finest dog rockets heading your way.  Ends Thursday at 8pm.  Good luck!
